Ripple Nutrition Plant-Based Protein Drink, Chocolate

FINALLY found a protein shake that works for me and I’m so relieved! I have been dealing with medical issues for some time, which have made it very difficult for me to eat, and I started dropping a significant amount of weight quickly. I have tried protein shakes in the past for a variety of reasons, but unfortunately, a lot of them I was either unable to drink due to an allergy to sugar alcohols (sorbitol, marisol, etc.), or the taste/texture made them unappealing. I love the clean ingredients in these Ripple shakes, and they contain a good amount of protein and other micronutrients. Calories aren’t really a concern for me right now, but the calorie content is very reasonable. My only complaint (which isn’t even enough for me to ding a star) is the flavor. It’s not quite chocolatey enough for my taste. But I fixed that issue by getting some basic Hershey’s chocolate syrup (the Simply 5 one is great) and adding just a little in each shake, probably around a tablespoon. That makes them the perfect flavor and sweetness for me. I could drink them as is, but I much prefer the little addition. With that, I find myself finishing the bottle easily, just like drinking a chocolate milk. No weird taste, no gritty or overly thick texture. I’m extremely pleased that I found these and they are really helping with my weight loss situation.

Fantastic for breastfeeding moms dealing with cmpa and soy allergies. I started drinking these 4 years ago when my son was puking constantly from breastfeeding. I always drank a protein shake for breakfast and had been on the premier protein shakes prior to switching to these - when I first tried these I didn't love the taste, it seemed earthier/less sweet. Once I adapted a bit I started to love them, and now all the other protein shakes taste way too saccharine for my liking. I love them so much I still drink them every morning. They give me energy until lunch and are very easy on my digestive system. I don't use them for weight management but the protein to calorie ratio is great for a plant protein drink. The consistency is nice and smooth but not too thick, basically like milk, and it's easy for me to chug.

(This is a review of just the chocolate flavor, I tried the vanilla and it was ok/good, but the chocolate is where it's at!) Look, friends, I've tried them all -- all the vegan ready-to-drink protein shakes out there, and all the dairy-based ones (I'm not a vegan). THIS IS THE BEST ONE OF ALL TIME! Now, I wish it had a little more protein but 210 calories and 20 grams isn't bad at all. As I see them, here are the pros and cons: We'll get the cons out of the way first! CONS: 1. Sugar is the 3rd ingredient, and it has 9 grams of added sugar per bottle. OF COURSE IT TASTES AMAZING! lol. Even though I keep my sugar per day to under 50 grams of added sugar, I will drink one Ripple protein shake per day, happily. It's worth the sugar content. 2. Sunflower oil is the 4th ingredient. One bottle has 8 grams of fat from the oil, but again, IT TASTES AMAZING so I'm ok with it, just wish somehow it could not have that much oil, or even, magically, no oil. But moving on . . . 3. It has gum arabic, gellan gum and guar gum. Does this matter? Does this harm us? Hell if I know! (You can find stuff online that says it does and that says it doesn't.) But if this matters to you, now you know. 4. It ain't cheap. But for 20 grams of protein and IT TASTES AMAZING, I'm ok with that, too. PROS: 1. NO chalkiness, not at all, none, NADA! Smooth and creamy. 2. It's vegan, so if you are, here's your protein shake. 3. I CAN'T QUIT THESE they are so tasty! I've tried. I've tried whipping up my own smoothies/shakes in my blender because: cheaper and less "processed" but man. . . these Ripple Shakes are EASY and did I mention yet that they taste amazing? 4. The carbs (13 grams) and fat (8 grams) are actually also pros for me -- because it's a great snack on its own -- or pair this with some dry roasted edamame like I often do, and it's a decent 300 calorie snack with 35 or so grams of protein and you get that sweet/salty vibe. 5. These are not too sweet tasting!! EVERY other protein shake is WAY too sweet for me. I guess I have less of a sweet palette than most Americans? Anyway, these are perfectly, lightly sweet. Hope that helps. JUST BUY THEM! I think you'll love them!

Ships fast, great value for your money. Very tasty, although they taste better when refrigerated, not bad at room temperature.

These are by far my favorite easy protein shakes! The coffee and chocolate are amazing! I don’t love the vanilla but I think that’s just not my favorite flavor in general. Smooth texture, great taste, and a great way to get more protein in easily!

If you're on the hunt for a truly satisfying and effective plant-based protein shake, especially one that doesn't compromise on taste or quality, then listen up. I've tried countless vegan protein options before; many taste chalky, have weird textures, or just don't deliver on the protein. This Ripple Vegan Protein Shake in chocolate? It's a total life-saver! Before this, finding a convenient and delicious protein source that fit my dietary needs was an uphill battle. Now, the difference is immediate. It's incredibly smooth, with a rich chocolate flavor that actually tastes like a treat, not a chore. With 20g of nutritious pea protein per serving, it's fantastic for post-workout recovery or a quick, healthy boost during a busy day. What truly sets this apart for me is its impressive nutritional profile and clean ingredients. It's completely free of GMOs, soy, nuts, gluten, and lactose, which is huge for those of us with sensitivities or specific dietary preferences. Plus, it's shelf-stable, so I can stock up and always have one ready. It's also a great source of essential minerals like iron (30% DV!), calcium, phosphorus, and potassium. If you struggle to find a delicious and effective vegan protein shake that truly satisfies, this Ripple shake is an absolute must-have. It's truly reduced my stress about getting enough protein and made healthy eating so much more enjoyable. Pros: Delicious, smooth chocolate flavor; no chalky taste. 20g of high-quality plant-based pea protein. Free from common allergens (soy, nuts, gluten, lactose, GMOs). Shelf-stable for convenient storage. Excellent source of iron, calcium, and other vital nutrients. A genuinely satisfying and effective protein option. Cons: Honestly, I haven't found any cons worth mentioning. It exceeds expectations for a plant-based shake. Highly, highly recommend this Ripple Vegan Protein Shake for anyone seeking genuine relief from bland protein options!

This is a good protein product with a rich chocolate taste. The only real downside is that it's rather expensive.

I have tried a lot of protein shakes, both plant based and dairy based. I liked the macros on these and like the ripple brand so I was excited to give these a try. I got the chocolate flavor. Generally I consume these either as a quick breakfast, or an afternoon snack. I find that the flavor is very slight-- like it walked past some chocolate but didn't quite jump in haha. The texture is decent, but it definitely tastes like pea protein, not much like chocolate. I also found that after a couple hours I was feeling super hungry, nearly lightheaded, likely because of the sugar crash (maybe?) but as a snack that's not an issue. Overall, they aren't bad, I'll finish the box I bought but I won't buy again.
